NEWS AND NOTES
- Ken Shamrock has been forced to withdraw from the scheduled main event against Kimbo Slice due to a cut suffered earlier today over his left eye. EliteXC has tapped Seth Petruzelli, who was scheduled to fight Aaron Rosa on the EliteXC “Heat” undercard, to take on Slice in place of Shamrock.
- Tito Ortiz announced during the CBS broadcast of EliteXC “Heat” that he is approximately one week away from signing with the promotion.
- EliteXC “Heat” received substantial mainstream press as Ken Shamrock’s main event withdrawl was a top story on ESPN.com and news of Seth Petruzelli’s main event upset of Kimbo Slice was aired as “Breaking News” during ESPN’s college football broadcasts.
How in the world did he hurt himself?
It’s not really clear. He reportedly suffered a cut above his eye but that’s all I’ve heard so far. I’ll pass along more when I hear it.
Really now Shammy can’t fight Kevin well guess their main event isn’t as great as they thought….
Just landed in Chicago good to see your site up Kris cheers
Thanks Kris,
It’s beyond me that with less than 24 hrs before fight time you would have contact training. Shamrock has been doing this for a lot of years and should know better. How funny will it be if Petruzelli beats Kimbo?
In case anyone cares, my avatar is my dog, Harley.
Is he not impressive?
I heard the fight is still on, its a game time decision as far as I know, who said it was cancelled
Kevin v Shammy is scraped that not good for EliteXC
Nice that I finally get to be on this wonderful site again good job Kris cheers..
i sometimes ponder what life would be like if mmafrenzy didnt excist…that would suck
Shamrock is such a suck. he knew his time was up!
shamrock will win
would have*
srry didnt mean to put will that sucks man i was looking forward to that fight hopfully whoever he fights whoops him..probably don frye or severn,or tito
if elite had any balls theyd make it kimbo vs AA or brett rogers since they shouldve fought on this card anyway. or is AA only aloud to fight another affliction fighter?
huerta that could only happen if both nelson and Arlovski scrapped their fight, then affliction would have to sign off…needless to say that would never happen right before a fight
i doubt it will be anyone that is well known..but i pray that who ever it is upsets kimbo…….because that could cause elite xc to fall and then maybe the ufc could ackwire shields,noons,lawler,rua,bigfoot,rogers and other people…crazy horse vs melvin guillard anyone
just heard that seth petruzelli or aron rosa will fight kimbo IF shamrock cannot fight, nothing is confirmed to be called off
They should just have Arlovski fight twice, he can probably handle both in one night.
Whoa! Did ya’ll hear what Frank said about his brother?
sometimes i really dont like frank ..he takes any chance he can to damage his bros. reputation a very girly move….but i have a feeling the silverback could upset the hobo…but the ref’s probably have orders to not to stop it/petrizelli gets cash for losing
what did Frank say? I missed that.
radach for mw champ?
chris l frank said that ken trains to hard and brings descrse to the shamrock family
descrase*
I saw Radach on an NBC special about MMA because of all of the injuries he’s suffered throughout his career.
interesting e-roc…link?
I don’t have a link. I saw it on tv…..on CNBC.
I’d give that round to Carano. Kobold would’ve won the round if she’d taken Gina down or something other than holding on.
Kobold won the second round.
I have never been excited about women’s mma until tonight. WOW!
womans fight kicks men fighting anyday…woman can take punishment what a chin on kiblad and great takedown defense by gina..id watch this over any men fighting anyday..both warriors gina by unanimous decsion
wow great fight by the women that was a true MMA fight. Frank has always been a bit of a prick but oh well. Ken is no disgrace to the Shamrock family at least he’s had the guts to take hard fights even if he has been a little psycho in his choices.
